Fi Hotspot with Edimax Nano USB EW- 7. ![]() ![]() Un (RTL8. 18. 8CUS chipset)Posted by dconroy on Jul 1. How To's, Raspberry Pi . I chose this adapter because it works out of the box, is cheap, and has a really low profile. But when I started the process of trying to turn my r. Pi into a Wi. Fi hotspot, it seemed that every tutorial out there claimed that the Edimax card I had recommended “doesn’t support Access Point”. Luckily for you and me, this is not the case. Given the varied level of experience of my readers, this tutorial will start from scratch. If you already have your operating system running, skip forward as needed. For this tutorial I am using Raspbian. I recommend it because it is an optimized version of Debian built specifically for Raspberry Pi’s. The last stable downloads can be found here. To flash your SD Card, you will need to unzip the image and write it your SD card using Win. Disk. Imager. This tool can also be used to after our initial setup to create an image of our finalized implementation(very useful as a backup). After the image is flashed, you can boot your device. At this point you can use your HDMI Cable/Mouse/Keyboard for your initial configuration, or you can use an SSH Client like Putty to connect. The default hostname, login, and password are as follows: host: raspberrypi. Username: pi. Password: raspberry. For this tutorial, I will be using putty. On first boot, you will be prompted with a configuration tool called Raspi- Config. If the raspi- config doesnt load automatically, just enter the following command from the shell to get started. The settings I recommend you update areupdateexpand. When you copy the image to a larger SD card you have a portion of that card unused. By default, 6. 4mb is reserved for the Graphical UI. Since we plan on using this as a Wi. Fi Hotspot, we can reduce this to 3. After that, you need to install the following packages. The whole crux of the issue is that it is the apt hosted copy of hostapd that is not compatible with the RTL8. CUS chipset. But, thanks to the Edimax team, I’ve got a replacement hostapd binary to resolve this issue. This tutorial will not work without it. To download and replace the installed binary version of hostapd we just installed, issue the following commands: wget http: //www. Note, some people don’t like the idea of installing from untrusted 3rd parties, so if If would rather compile your own binary, you can download the realtek driver here . You will have to navigate to the ~/RTL8. C. To do this, we need to edit our network interfaces: sudonano/etc/network/interfacessudo nano /etc/network/interfaces. To avoid any conflicts, you need to delete or comment out(#) any lines conatining wlan. To do so, create the following filesudonano/etc/hostapd/hostapd. Dave. Conroy. Pichannel=1wmm! I’m happy to answer any questions, just comment on this post. Thanks for reading!
